There was a time when Allen Iverson filled arenas to see him play, when he was the player symbolizing the bridge to the hip-hop culture in the NBA, when his jersey sales were at the top of the league, when he was one of the most dynamic players in the NBA.

“We’re very astonished, to say the least, that not one team has contacted us with any interest,” Moore said. “I just don’t understand it….

“What has Allen Iverson done to not warrant interest in him?” Moore said.

Well, um, there was last season.

He put up good stats for the Grizzlies in the three games he played for them — 12.3 points per game and a PER of 16.9 — but was such a distraction, refusing to come off the bench and throwing Mike Conley under the bus, that they let him go. (Memphis had a good season and good chemistry once Iverson was gone.) He went back to Philadelphia where he was pedestrian for 25 games then had to leave the team to deal with a family issue — a legitimate issue but the timing and how it was handled left other teams questioning.

At age 35, no team trying to build wants and aging Iverson to take up a roster spot and no veteran contending team feels he’s worth the risk. We can tell you there is no buzz whatsoever for Iverson around the league. Nobody feels the production is worth the hassle.

So maybe that’s how one of the NBA’s legendary careers ends. With a whimper. Playing in China against Stephon Marbury. I wish it was different, but that is the reality.

A.I. has come and gone. I was one who looked forward to watching this guy play. A true one man wrecking crew back in the day. That was then. This is now. Who needs an old, selfish, brokedown A.I. I lost all respect for him when he came to my Pistons. What a pouter! He just plain refused to be a team player. REFUSED!!! What team needs that? Nobody! Good luck in China A.I.

Say What! I bet you he wishes he got that degree from Georgetown now. Get ready… “Welcome to burger world can I take your order” or “Alan can you get a mop and clean up to vomit on isle 3″. Ha Ha Ha. Dude I hope you stashed a few of those millions away.

Haha…another diehard AI fan. No one is saying the guy wasn’t talented…but when not a single team calls you back, the writing is on the wall. Maybe, Anticipating, if you were a GM you could choose to build a team around A.I….but all the other GMs would laugh while getting their popcorn ready to watch the tragic comedy that would be your team unfold.
A.I. could probably play one on one with anyone….but he’s no team player. He still is, as he always was, all about himself. He can thank the Chinese for keeping him relevant, cause no one in the US cares anymore. At least, not those who care more for team players than “me first” superstars.
